Just in case some of you have not already heard, we bring this to you. Thursday, March 29, 2007. Free the date, readers. Rockstar has posted a countdown for the release of the first GTA IV trailer. Yes, a countdown for a trailer folks. Until now, we have just been provided with a barrage of blurry, mostly fake, images, and a mountain of rumors. Unfortunately, no word on what platform or resolution the video will be in -- great news anyway, though.

It seems that Rockstar has decided to use the Euphoria physics engine for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV sequel. This is the same physics engine that Lucasarts used to wow everyone with the Indiana Jones and Star Wars demos recently. Great news!

It seems that Rockstar does have at least one Wii title up their sleeves -- Manhunt 2. According to the press release, the game will be available this Summer. Click read more for the full info.

PRESS RELEASE

New York, NY – February 6, 2007 – Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce Manhunt 2 for the PlayStation 2 system, PSP system, and Nintendo's Wii™. Manhunt 2 is the debut title from the newly formed Rockstar London studio, which is developing the game in conjunction with series creator Rockstar North. The Wii™ version is being developed by Rockstar Toronto. Manhunt 2 will be available this summer.

Our friend Jack Thompson has been quiet lately, maybe he took the Holidays off. Well, he is quiet no more, only three days into the new year he is calling on MS chairman Bill Gates to put a stop to the coming sale of Grand Theft Auto IV. Like that would ever happen, considering what MS had to do to get the game on the Xbox360 in the first place.

According to PlanetGTA, Nintendo tried to persuade Take-Two to bring the GTA Series onto their consoles. No answer has been unveiled but it sure fuels the imagination on how this would be played using the Wiimote.

If you do something wrong, it will catch up to you. The execs at Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two Interactive, Inc is once again humiliated in front of millions. Gamespot has all the info of what went wrong in Take-Two's stock options.

According to an article over at Newsweek, Ken Kuitaragi himself was responsible for the lost exclusivity of the Grand Theft Auto and Assassins Creed franchises. Kutaragi and the rest of the Sony camp has bascially been totally incommunicado until this week, so Take Two and Ubisoft did not get any responses to their requests to make exclusivity deals. Not able to waste any more time, both publishers decided to go multi-platform. Bad move, Sony.

You may not know this, but in Rockstar's new controversial title Bully, players can make out with many of the game's female supporting players. They can also make out with one male NPC as well, and this is what has our old friend Jack Thompson up in arms yet again.

It seems Rockstar is set to try it's hand again at the Warriors game, this time on PSP. The console version of the game left a bit to be desired, let's hope the PSP version gets tweaked a bit. Click read more for the full info.

PRESS RELEASE

New York, NY October 18, 2006 - Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is pleased to announce that The Warriors will be making its way to the PSP system. Developed by Rockstar Leeds in conjunction with Rockstar Toronto, The Warriors for the PSP system is set to hit North American and European retail shelves this holiday season.

According to Eurogamer, a source close to Rockstar North claims that the GTA team is working on exclusive supplemental content for both systems, not just the Xbox360. This certainly stands to reason, we do not see why Rockstar would leave Sony out in the cold.
